So took a punt i'd be able to sort out a better solution on the very visible oil catch can filter.... defect central. Result: Filter sits nicely down inside the front bumper, where t

So a couple of guys in the Stagea subsection have asked me to post a build thread on my S15, being a non R31/2/3/4/5 and non RB i wasn't sure how it would go down but i have been assured it will be of

Great build mate, well done - really impressed how everything just fits so well.

Who did the wiring? Looks like it would have been a tough job.

Cheers mate

I separated and labelled the VQ30 engine loom from the Y33 Cima front cut and took it to a local bloke up here to have it merged into the S15 body/engine loom.

If it wasn't for the ABS component I probably would have sorted it out myself, but old bud did a great job - direct plug in job straight to the S15 'F4' Body loom plug.

Thought i'd get on the VQ bandwagon before bandwagon rolled out :D

So Simpletool and I got this out onto the street this afternoon, ended up doing about 200km's of road tuning (in 30deg heat so about as hot as it'll ever see :D)

No leaks, no bangs, no rattles & still handles well (feels like no weight has been added at all) - everything worked as it should.

Tune wise most cruise is now sorted - idle will need a fair bit of work but we seem to be making positive progress (so many idle parameters in Nistune, once its sorted it will be perfect).

Initially we weren't going to tune for boost but ended up seeing 14psi - think its going to go OK ;)

I was going to ask how it handled with some additional weight up front. you didn't happen to weigh the car before and after the engine swap? also, great writeup! thoroughly jealous, love the S15 shape but I loved my VQ also. together............. well, looks like only you know lol

Cheers guys!

Not sure if i'll get a strut brace on it, its all pretty tight up high in the engine bay.

So after a couple of hundered KM's this is the finished engine bay with all systems now hooked up.

And this is how i sorted out the boost controller.

Hopefully tune/skids from here on.

nice build, i've got a soft spot for the vq30's

the vq30 weighs 200kgs so its the same as the sr20

I want the keys next time ;) Need to compare it to my lowly RB.

An amazing build, it's only now I'm looking at some of the details in the build thread/s that I can see how amazing it was for it to start and run first time with no issues.

I'm keen to sort out the "funny" logic tables in VQ nistune world.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
